ASPARAGUS 
1 oz. to 100 ft. 
When starting an asparagus bed from seed, it is advisable 
to soak the seed for 24 hours before planting. This makes 
germination more rapid and certain. Sow in spring in rows 
about 18 inches apart, allowing 15 to 20 seeds to the foot. 
Cover 2 inches deep. When plants are well established, thin 
to about an inch apart. Hoe frequently during the summer. 
The plants will be ready to set in a permanent bed the 
following spring. 
2—MARY WASHINGTON SEED+ 
Pkt., 10c: oz., 25c. 
ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
To start a bed it is only necessary to set out the roots on 
good soil and give them ordinary care to keep weeds down, 
etc. No special preparation of the land is necessary. It 
should be plowed or spaded deep and worked down well 
and should be enriched by applying a heavy dressing of 
manure, which should be plowed or spaded in. The roots 
are set out 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows about 4 feet 
apart. One hundred roots make a good bed, but more should 
be set out for a large family. Cutting may commence the 
third year after setting out the roots. A small cutting may 
be made the second year if not continued throughout the 
season.

3—PARADISE 
A new variety for which many claims are made, but

whether they are justified. Compared to Mary Washington, 
it is supposed to produce a crop one year earlier, yields 
heavier and has a better flavor. Supplied in 2-yr.-old roots 
only. Per doz., 75c, postage 10c extra; per 50, $2.25, postage 
20c extra.

STRINGLESS BEANS 
with crisp green or golden yellow pods, that smell like 
beans when they are on the table and give a solid, 
meaty crunch with each bite. 
Bean Cultural Notes: Plant in rows about 24 inches apart, 
using 1 lb. to 100 feet. In our district beans should not be 
planted before May 20th at the very earliest if you want a 
continuous supply of really tender pods. Make successive 
plantings until July lst. Keep surface soil soft. Do not culti- 
vate when plants are in bloom or when vines are wet 
Feed young plants twice with Vigoro or Plantone.

POLE BEANS 
Pole Beans are gaining in popularity because, once tried, 
they are never left out of the garden where sufficient room 
is available. Plant one week later than bush beans, putting 
8 to 10 beans around each pole or stake, covering about 
2 inches. When well started, thin to 4 or 6 plants. These 
beans yield more and produce longer pods. In our trials, 
planting with corn was not very successful.
